"Bryan came out to inspect. He took many pictures and explained what they would do. I found him very professional. On the agreed upon date, five people came to do the work, three at first almost at the scheduled time and later two more. They put some screens over several vents on the roof and on the sides of the building that were possible entrance points for rodents, and they concreted over several possible entry points in the foundation. They also caulked around several pipes and put metal plates over some open places on the building. They also installed a metal plate at the bottom of the basement door. Several people went on the roof and some work was done around the eaves. There were usually several people standing around not seeming to do anything, or they'd all congregate around one spot seemingly discussing the work of one or two people. The paint matching that Steve had said they would do using our paint was not done. We now have unpainted metal plates on the outside of our house. The job was finished five hours after it started, counting There had been only one spot in the entire house, an area about two feet square, where there had been obvious rat infestation. The cleanup and sanitation was sweeping up that area and spraying some fresh-smelling liquid on much of the basement floor. I had to request that they finish the floor and use the vacuum around other places they had worked, which they objected to at first but partially did after their foreman insisted. The bill for that part was $1500. The actual work that was done for that and for rodent proofing, $5500, seems steep for what was actually done. I'll now have to hire someone to do the painting. We have had only one infestation, a couple of weeks ago, in only a small area, after owning the house for about fifteen years. If we don't have any further problems, it will be worth the money, but I feel I paid way too much for what I got."

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.
Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
